England: Catholic succession and the reformation

[Spirithound]

i don’t believe they are legally allowed to be monarch if they are catholic… I know they are not allowed to marry anyone that is catholic.

although I don’t know how this interferes with anti-prejudice laws and equality laws. I think the european court of human rights would overturn the rule if a monarch converted. I don’t know if in reality they would simply be sacked for being Catholic as this seems prejudicial. human rights must apply to monarchs too despite how their families keep power lfor themselves lol

I have heard that it is a constitutional requirement that the monarch be Anglican, however the monarch has the power to re-write the constitution…i think…

the monarch has absolutely no power to re-write the constitution.

it would most likely be brought up as a bill in parliament…and agreed with by the house of lords… the queen would not be an active part in the democratic discussion as it takes place. She is there just to nod once we’ve decided what to do. I doubt if a monarch would refuse to agree with democracy even if a bill came up wanting a republic. It’s not their place…they’re a leader to look at but they serve the people - they don’t lead them.

the monarch isn’t like a glorified president lol… she just brings in tourist money lol, in fact that’s an argument people always bring up when people want to get rid of her.
